During this past week’s podcast, Justin, Eliot, and I debated the overall tenor of BlizzCon 2016 — and found it more or less lacking. While we agreed there were some bright spots, like new content for Diablo III and an apparently refreshed content cadence for World of Warcraft, we were all annoyed at the force-fed e-sports, the reduction in streamed panels for WoW, the weak and frankly boring keynote, and the doofy WoW Q&A session Saturday that once again reminded us Blizzard doesn’t learn from the genre around it.
I’m curious what those of you who participated in BlizzCon in some way or merely watched the news from the sidelines thought about the show. To the Leaderboard pollmobile!
